When it comes to Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver Antonio Brown, he has recently battled a toe injury that had him questionable for last Monday night’s 23-20 road win against the AFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals.
Even with his impressive performance en route to yet another game with 101 yards receiving and one touchdown catch, Brown still had to play through the pain.
Luckily for the Steelers, according to an article by Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Brown was back at practice this week as a full participant in wake of his team's Week 14 primetime matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.
Antonio Brown, who currently leads the NFL in both receiving yards and receptions, opened up to the media on Friday after practice.
“I never want to play a game without practicing,” Brown said. “That’s not ideal for me. I’m a guy who wants to be out there and take every rep to get a great feel and preparation. But last week was less fortunate for me. It was a challenge. I was grateful I was able to pull through, but I’m grateful for this week and excited about this opportunity to be out there with my guys. The arrow’s pointed up. I’m feeling a lot better.”
The Steelers, who have a highly-anticipated matchup at Heinz Field during Week 15 against the defending-champion New England Patriots, first face a Ravens team this Sunday that has convincingly won four of its last five games.
With the playoffs looming, Pittsburgh needs Brown both healthy and playing.
